Arizona Wildcats assistant coach Book Richardson is one of four coaches arrested after being charged with fraud and corruption for “taking bribes to deliver star athletes to a financial adviser or an agent,” NBC News uncovered Tuesday.
An FBI investigation revealed Richardson took $20,000 in bribes, "some of which Richardson appears to have kept for himself and some of which he appears to have provided to at least one prospective high school basketball player,” a court document said.
That player has been suggested to be 2018 five-star point guard Jahvon Quinerly, since the court document says “player-5” verbally committed to “university-4” (Arizona) “on or about” Aug.
